Lobster Snorkeling

Lobster Snorkeling

Fishing ChartersKey West, FL
Get ready to dive into one of the Keys most iconic experiences - snorkeling for spiny lobster in clear, tropical waters. Our trip departs from Key West and heads 5 to 15 miles offshore to prime lobster territory: patch reefs, shallow ledges, and rocky outcrops loaded with bugs. Expect about 4-5 hours on the water, depending on your group's pace and preferences. We'll hit multiple productive spots and give you the best chance to reach your daily limit while enjoying an epic day under the sun. You'll be riding out on our sleek and powerful 32' Contender, built for speed and stability. While this boat is all business on the fishing side, it still offers smooth comfort and ample deck space for snorkeling and diving. The boat features dry storage, a powerful sound system, and a swim ladder for easy water access. Your captain - a seasoned waterman, commercial fisherman, and licensed paramedic - is there to guide you every step of the way, and a professional mate will be onboard to assist with gear setup, lobstering tips, and ensuring your safety and success in the water. This trip is customizable to your group's vibe - whether you're after high-paced hunting or a casual family-friendly lobster cruise. Want to explore different zones, go deeper for a challenge, or even pair the day with some rod-bending reef fishing? We've got you. Snorkel gear and tickle tools are available if you don't have your own, and we'll clean and bag your catch back at the dock so you can enjoy it fresh that night. Coolers with ice are ready for your food and drinks, and BYOB is always welcome. What makes our lobster trips different is the level of local knowledge, hands-on instruction, and dedication to getting you on lobster, not just water. We don't follow the crowds - we put in the extra effort to get to less-pressured grounds. You'll explore vibrant marine ecosystems, spot tropical fish and marine life along the way, and experience the pure thrill of pulling your own dinner out of the ocean. Whether you're a first-timer or a bug-hunting veteran, this trip is built for memory-making and full coolers.

About Captain

Born and raised in the Florida Keys, Captain John is a 5th generation native to the Florida Keys. Based on the westernmost point of the Keys, Captain John's natural conclusion was to turn to fishing! His biggest catches were a 14' Hammerhead Shark of 700 pounds, and Goliath Groupers weighing just under 500 pounds! Captain John became a professional captain in 2008 and has been running charters ever since. Captain John claims that the best part of the job is spending time with people, and sharing the passion of fishing with one another.
